Scenarios about 'humanitarian intervention'
Humanitarian intervention refers to military or diplomatic action taken by countries or international organizations to protect civilians from human rights abuses, genocide, or other humanitarian crises. This concept gained prominence following the Cold War, particularly during conflicts in Somalia, Bosnia, and Rwanda in the 1990s. In alternate history scenarios, different approaches to humanitarian interventions can dramatically alter regional stability, international norms regarding sovereignty, and the development of global governance structures.
